59 of my articles being used to train Meta’s AI … another impact metric if it means people asking AI questions get research-based answers.

My anecdotal evidence shows that although Marge Blanc’s #NaturalLanguageAcquisition book is endorsed by Dr Barry Prizant hardly anyone has even seen it much less read it.
It’s a seminal work??? No! No other research papers on it, measuring it, defining it, agreeing with it, are published.

$$$$ Ky Dickens' Telepathy Tapes merch - great representation of the brainwashing and also being completely inadequate as a form of sun protection. Whoever came up with this one was prioritising the merch $$ over the message.

Look at this great #ISAAC2002 photo of Australians (mostly I think!). That’s me back row near David Trembath, Hilary Johnson, Meredith Allan, Fiona Given, Karen Bloomberg, Cathy Olsson, Lani Campbell, Hayley Smithers-Sheedy, Teresa Iacono, Susan Balandin, Gayle Porter, Rosemary Crossley, and others!

Proud to stand up for communication rights.
What’s the reason I am being attacked over an empty systematic review? (PS it’s not to do with ASHA or ABA at all).
i think it’s because the main NLA teachers are supportive of #FacilitatedCommunication and #RapidPromptingMethod
Just resubmitted this.

This is a good article in the Leader earlier in 2024 by an autistic SLP. Makes some very good points.
Very much worth a read.

Just checking - could the approach “GLP/NLA” simply be substituted into their DIR Floortime(R) banner?

Thankyou,

Is there really “genuine uncertainty” that #NLA protocol would be beneficial?
*Why has there been no evidence of research having been done?
Maybe it has not been done? Or maybe it has, and it didn’t work?

If you are defending #NLA and #GLP then I have to ask - have you read the book? Even page 259 and 260?
Did you notice the book has *no AAC in it at all except pseudoscience? none. Most people haven’t read the book before embracing it as a good idea.

Doing my best! Asha was a start, but more than 1000 people had heard it even before this through the free workshops. How do I get to more people?
